In Nigeria, the artisanal fishing is decreasing in importance and the trend is towards intensive
fish culture. This has its advantages in that useful man hours are not spent searching for fish in
the wild. But the problem is that an intensive fish culture demands extra feeding in order for the
fish to attain table size within a short time. Ta a large extent, fish seeds are still imported. With
the constraints on importation currently being experienced all over the Federation, the fish farmer
is facing a major setback in his business. This paper emanated from the demand of local fish farmers
(some intending fish farmers) who are now facing problems with restriction on importation
of fish feed. This paper therefore, intenda to highlight those raw materials locally available that
can be used in making pellets as fish feed.
